2. Fuller's earth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuller's_earth

   Fuller's earth is a term for various clays used as an absorbent, filter, or bleaching agent. Products labeled fuller's earth typically consist of palygorskite (also known as attapulgite) or bentonite. [1] Primary modern uses include as absorbents for oil, grease, and animal waste (cat litter), and as a carrier for pesticides and fertilizers.

3. Superabsorbent polymer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superabsorbent_polymer

   Low-density cross-linked SAPs generally have a higher absorbent capacity and swell to a larger degree. These types of SAPs also have a softer and stickier gel formation. High cross-link density polymers exhibit lower absorbent capacity and swell, and the gel strength is firmer and can maintain particle shape even under modest pressure.

4. Fire retardant gel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_retardant_gel

   When gel is applied to a surface such as an exterior wall, the water-filled bubblets can absorb much of the heat given off by the fire, thereby slowing the fire from reaching the wall. Gels can provide thermal protection from fire for extended periods even at 3,500 °F (1,930 °C).

5. Sorbent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorbent

   They are frequently used to remove pollutants and in the cleanup of chemical accidents [3] and oil spills. [4] Besides their uses in industry, sorbents are used in commercial products such as diapers [5] and odor absorbents, [6] and are researched for applications in environmental air analysis, particularly in the analysis of volatile organic ...

6. Petroleum Remediation Product - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_Remediation_Product

   PRP is a loose dry powder composed of hollow microspheres of beeswax, soy wax, and other natural waxes. PRP microspheres range in size from 10 microns to 150 microns. [4] The waxes that comprise PRP are natural hydrocarbons making them oleophilic (having a strong affinity for oils rather than water) and hydrophobic. [5]

7. Polyacrylamide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyacrylamide

   In the oil and gas industry, polyacrylamide derivatives (especially co-polymers) have a substantial effect on production by enhanced oil recovery by viscosity enhancement. High viscosity aqueous solutions can be generated with low concentrations of polyacrylamide polymers, which are injected to improve the economics of conventional water-flooding.
